There are various ways that individuals receive free resources and gifts. For example from affiliate marketing programs. Many are wise enough to feel fortunate to have whatever ‘leg up’ they can get. Besides the financial benefit, it may have a positive effect on their mindset that someone is helping. Some realize they actually may have just saved $100s or even $1000s in development and start-up costs to create their home business. These folks have the best intentions and will likely make good use of what has been provided usually free of charge for affiliates.

However sometimes it appears people really do not know what they have been given. This could be because they don’t know how much something would cost them if they were to develop something themselves. With this group, often once the ‘high’ of joining the program and getting all the prizes is over, they are not really interested to see what would happen if they actually take action. They really don’t want to do any work and in fact what appealed to them was only free, easy, and today. They thought that because everything was free so far that the program would also get the traffic, leads and sales for them.

Once in a while there may be a total disconnect because someone may not trust the fact that some things are actually ‘free’. Then they expect to find out what it really costs. They may also stubbornly refuse to spend any money, not being a good sport to support a company that has been an advantage to them. They are only interested in a business that is totally free. What they are really saying is that is all it is worth to them = $000. These are often the same ones who also do not work for free (even for themselves) to build a home business. The only funny part is then they can’t understand why they failed except to blame the program.

It seems really stupid when someone can’t actually appreciate what they have been given, and without acknowledging that it has any value. For some reason they feel it is more logical for them to pretend it is nothing because it is free. They can’t stand obligation or feeling that they owe someone. Everything just goes to waste. They are absolved of all responsibility to appreciate it.

Maybe they at least make a shallow effort to look everything over. Cold feet? They pronounce that it’s not an option because it still (will) cost too much money, require too much work, or won’t have instant profit, (will take time to develop). Some just can’t understand how to get started even with instructions. For some reason they just give up right off the bat. It’s no big loss since it was free anyway.

Maybe it is just true that Internet marketing, or affiliate marketing are just not for everyone. We are all different and it is definitely no disgrace if you just can’t relate to this even for free. There is no shame and in fact it had some value that at least they made a tiny effort to see what it would involve.

Maybe years from now, when things may be different, you will try again. In the future, you may be able to do something that before seemed unachievable. You might try and fail 10 times before you get to the right time and opportunity for you. Just don’t give up.

Maintaining your focus and motivation are some of the most important keys to developing a successful home business. These skills are necessary to create a good plan and find the information and training you need to take action with your ideas. It is not as likely that you achieve your goals without first having a plan that includes target goals. Some are more creative and less organized, or vice versa. We can make our plan one that suits our style.

If possible, stay on the most direct course whatever it may be. There is an art to not allowing things to distract you and prevent you from doing what you have planned. Some things can’t be avoided and for these you should develop a contingency plan. If Plan A is not working out for you, or there is some obstacle you can’t overcome, have a Plan B and do that instead. The point of course is to keep moving forward and never quit or wait whenever it can be avoided.

Different things motivate people. Some need to ‘visualize’ what they will buy with the money they earn and some suggest cutting out pictures of things and paste them to your mirror so you can see the fancy sports car, the Italian villa, the diamond necklace, etc. that you dream of. This may work for some but it seems kind of silly. Whatever works for you.

Having fantasy scenarios can be fun, and it might work to motivate someone. At the same time there is a chance that some will become discouraged when in the first years of developing a home business they are doing lots of work and navigating learning curves but have yet to see much in the way of tangible rewards. It is normal to expect to work for some time before everything starts to fall into place. This is just normal.

Keep up a good mindset at all times. Just don’t allow yourself to get discouraged for any reason. You are either going to start a home business or not. You just can’t do things half-way. There is no time to waste or money to miss out on. You just have to stay determined to achieve your goals.
